"Committed" is a strange little movie that I've taken long time to find, considering it hasn't even been released in Brazil. Heather Graham plays a crazy woman that does everything in her powers to get along with her just married husband, who doesn't seem to be that in love with her. This woman travels a big time in the United States in order to find him, and when she does, he simply doesn't care. However, it doesn't feel that hard to comprehend what Joline is trying to do; many aspects in our lives bring the idea of getting married with the RIGHT person-- as if there would be a soul mate for each citizen of this world. Young girls are more likely to feel some connection with Graham's character, whilst older guys will just believe she's mentally nuts-- as some characters in the movie also do. The plot doesn't bring funny scenes, I understand, but everything feels so ironic and ingenuous that it's hard not to find the movie enjoyable. I honestly wished that Joline could get what she wanted so much, but the film never tries to please the spectator; things just happen as the (crazy) characters live their lives. "Committed" isn't anything marvelous, well directed or anything, but it surely VERY original and weird, which is a rare thing to find in the genre.
